    Every day...

    Coffee with skim milk
    Water (normally sparkling), often with lemon/lime juice and stevia

    Besides the bit of milk, I don't generally drink my calories.

    Every day: water, coffee (almost always).

    Liquids make up little to nothing (well, other than the calories in coffee I do not log) of my calories. I occasionally will have a smoothie or (on rare occasion) a juice or something.

    Recently (as one of the rare exceptions) I made a non sweetened cardamom ice cream and put it in some coffee as a dessert -- that was tasty.

    I consider smoothies a meal

    The only thing I drink EVERY day is water. I have some kind of tea most days, usually a black blend if I have to go to work or a green or herbal if I have the day off. But sometimes coffee. Diet soda with lunch or as an evening treat fairly often, but not daily. I like having variety.

    Beer and wine on the weekends. I stick to light beers usually, but I love the occasional blood & honey, blue moon, or yummy stout.

    Water and coffee err'day.

    Milk - 16-24 oz/day
    Coffee - 24-32 oz/day
    Water - a lot, probably 100+ oz/day

    I drink iced tea many days but not all. Not much of a juice drinker.

    On a daily basis - water and coffee. many days that is only fluids i drink - although I do usually have some milk on my breakfast cereal.
    On a weekly basis - ie some days of the week but not every day - juice, diet sodas (with or without alcoholic addition)
    Less often than weekly - cider, plain milk, milkshakes, wine, herbal tea.


    No, liquids do not make up most of my calorie allowance - quite the reverse. Food makes up most of it, liquids only a small part.

    Water and tea (usually black tea, either blueberry or black currant flavour, no sugar or milk). I recently started drinking 2 dl of full-fat (3%) milk in the evening before bed if I was hungry but that is not always a daily thing. The skim milk in these parts is 1.5% and gives me only 30 cals less for 2 dl, and I like the taste of the 3% better.


    ETA: I just made myself a cup of tea and realised that the blueberry one I'm currently enjoying is actually a Rooibos, so I suppose I drink other types than black tea. :smile:

    Coffee, plus lots of tea in the winter less often in the summer.

    Water is a given. I don't consider it a "drink" or even in the same category as the above items.
